For ANYTHING. Even if running unopposed. And for the time being, I won't vote to retain any judge who was nominated by a repub.

These Republicans who are voting to side with sedition and incitement of insurrection - even when it threatened their very lives in the moment at least to some degree - are disgusting weather vanes. The point the direction the financial winds and re-election chances tell them to...but the people who support them, the y'all-queda crowd and all the other enablers, they are the ones that need to be rooted out and either de-programmed or expelled from the union.

These people claim 'patriotism' yet they are cowards and nihilists and insurrectionists at best, treasonous enemy terrorists at worst. There clown car representatives don't come up with this on their own...they kowtow to the "base" and then the non-base allows it to continue.
